La presente investigación se realizó en las instalaciones de la unidad experimental de aves y en los laboratorios de Nutrición Animal y Sanidad Animal, de la Facultad de Zootecnia de la Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva, Tingo María, Provincia de Leoncio Prado y Departamento de Huánuco; los objetivos fueron determinar los efectos de la inclusión de diferentes niveles (0, 1, 2 y 3%) de harina de hojas de estevia, en la ración de gallinas de postura sobre el perfil sanguíneo y parámetros productivos. Fueron utilizadas 100 gallinas de la línea Isa Brown con 120 días de edad, las cuales fueron distribuidas en un Diseño Completamente al Azar con arreglo factorial 4 X 3 (cuatro niveles de harina de hojas de estevia x tres edades) y el factor niveles de inclusión de harina de hojas de estevia fue sometido a contrastes ortogonales (5%). Los resultados de los parámetros sangu...

Eggs are sources of high nutritious value; however, their intake is associated with hypercholesterolemia in consumers. Stevia rebaudiana, among other properties, has a hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effect in humans, rats and broilers chicken. The objectives of this research were to determine the effect of the inclusion of 0, 1, 2 and 3% of Stevia rebaudiana leaves powder in the diet on the lipid profile and productive parameters of Isa Brown hens. One hundred, 17 - 24 week old, Isa Brown laying hens were used and distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments and five repetitions. The increase in the levels of powder from Stevia leaves decreased the cholesterol profile (p < 0.05), without changing other profiles and the productive parameters (p > 0.05). Additionally, the triglyceride profile and weight gain showed quadratic and negative linear tendencies,...
